A Porcelain Love Story

Tales and Legends series

 This series takes an original approach to artworks in the Louvre by presenting them against real landscapes in fictions derived from ancient tales and myths.

Director(s): Danielle Jaeggi

Actor(s) / Performer(s): Muriel Bloch

A milkmaid and a thresher—two pretty 18th-century porcelain ornaments in a beautiful drawing room—love each other dearly. Alas, the charming milkmaid is betrothed to the hideous "Goat Head" figure on the corner of the drawing room cupboard. So the thresher elopes with his beloved, and introduces her to the simple pleasures of country life.
